On the subject of 'stevie gee', I would not at all be surprised if he signs for New York City FC, and is loaned back to Man City.
Would just be the sort of thing he would do. You know, stay loyal to the scousers and have a chance to win a title.
How Man city have got away with the lampard loan is beyond me. it's dipping a toe in the water, seeing if the FFP rules can be broken with impunity...and the water was ok.
I mean, did Frank and his family actually go house hunting in the US? Nah, they did not even leave the shores of the UK.....they all knew he wasn't even going....fucking joke.
It's just as bad as Vitesse Arnhem owned by a lacky of Roman and I suppose the investigation into Merab Jordania's account that CFC told VA not to qualify for the CL -not forgetting Overmars' accusation that he was not allowed to speak to Van Ginkel because of CFC's 'cooperation agreement' with VA - will be whitewashed with Russian blood money.
Didn't ENIC sell it's shares in AEK, Rangers, Slavia Prague, Basel & Vincenza because of AEK Athens ejection of the UEFA cup?
I digress...
I would much rather us be out of the spotlight enabling us to get on with it.
However, you'd have thought that the fact that in his 715 games as a manager this is only the second time one of JM's teams have conceded 5, and the only other team to do it was Barca, it would have been more newsworthy.
Coincidentally, there was also a conspiracy in favour of Barca during his spell at Real.
However, they have won the CL, Euro Super Cup, FIFA world club Cup and Copa del Rey without him.
